[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1072442, member: 56232"] 1. Ireland 2. France 3. England 4. Scotland 5. Wales 6. Italy As last year showed though, form could mean nothing. I think Ireland will edge it as France still haven't got over their habit of having at least 1 mind-crunchingly stupid moment in at least 1 of the games that ends up costing them. I think in every game they will go into they will be favourites but I still haven't seen that consistently good decision making and discipline. France gonna France. Ireland have shown good form and have the ability to string a tournament together England could finish anywhere between 1st and 5th with equal probability IMO. Farrell being out and a proper 15 do go some way to helping and if we actually stay on top of our discipline for a change, we could do very well. On the flip side, we could fall to pieces and give away tons of stupid penalties. We already have a reputation for giving away penalties so the constant pushing the boundaries now seems like a stupid tactic, you do that while you can get away with it, not while you are being pinged off the park. Ultimately playing more conservatively and within the rules and not giving away penalties could help us far more than it hurts us. Scotland have looked like improving and, whilst they can beat anyone on their day, they've not been able to string a tournaments worth of "their days" together. They have been improving but I think Cardiff and Dublin will be too much, especially if England beat them. Next year they could be contenders if they continue improving but I don't think this year. Wales at club level have been dire and last year weren't that good, probably the jammiest 6N I've ever seen. they do have a habit of somehow putting it all together for the 6N but there really isn't anything to go by form wise to indicate that should be what will happen. Italy are Italy. [/QUOTE]
